I think this thread has shown we are still capable (as humans) of actually having a sensible discussion of a topic with varying points of view. that makes me happy.

I can't add much to what has already been said, but I will expand on the brilliance of RLM. In IMSA they cover all the support races and stream them live. I have been listening to the support races this year, and Jeremy and John and Shea have done a tremendous job covering these races. I know very little about the drivers in the races, yet they have still been able to make the races interesting to me. For instance, last week at Watkins, in one of the Porsche Cup races a car didn't make it off pitlane for the pace lap and they were describing the work going on and John was getting excited about the car having to hurry to make it out of the pits before the pitlane closed and the driver would go down a lap. This wasn't one of the favorites for the race or anything, but the excitement involved in the call captured the drama of the race for that individual so well that I thought it was me stuck in the pitlane!

Am a big Radio LeMans fan - as well as mid week motorsport. What has happened to Graham G, Marshal P and Sam Collins on mid week show? Always enjoyed Graham's sports car update and Sam's technical discussions.

Marshall and Graham do the week in sportscar podcast (see Marshall Pruett Podcast) and Sam is pursuing politcal ambitions as well as SuperGT commentary.

I think RLM are using more 'occasional guests' to supplement the core team these days - which does mean we get more variety, but more style clashes (Marriott not letting Trussers finish a single sentence in 6 hours for instance)

Whether this is a conscious/willing decision, I don't know

I do like Andrew Marriott as a pit lane reports. Loads of enthusism and great insight. Sorry to hear that Graham won't be heard on mid week.

I really enjoy Andrews pitlane work especially his enthusiasm which I particularly admire and makes me smile every time he appears on coverage.

Regarding Midweek Motorsport I’m still a big fan of the crew but with Graham Goodwin and Marshall Pruett doing their own thing i do find myself listening to MM less these days as those two were my favourite contributors. Still enjoy MM for the guests they have though.

Since Marshall and Graham do their own podcast, do they still have any connection to the RadioLeMans.com group? Or are they divorced so to speak now?

Graham still does the ELMS commentary, which I think is provided by RSL. I doubt they are "divorced". Sadly, I haven't had time to listen to MWM or the new MP/GG podcasts for months.

Yes I have been listening to Midweek motorsport WAY less since the Pruett/Goodwin podcast started running. S365 podcast is awesome too.

Pretty disappointing that RLM guys think it is ok to spoil the results of other ongoing or already finished race.

Earlier tonight during the 24h of Cota broadcast Hindy decided to out of nowhere congratulate Aston Martin for winning GTE. Then Shea semi-jokingly said "spoiler alert" and the other guy (forgetting the name again) spoiled also the overall winner referencing how boring the race apparently was.

So a radio station whose content is about sports car racing shouldn't talk about the results of sports car races which finished hours earlier (and which they had already broadcast live), just in case you hadn't seen the result yet?

Eh, I see deggis point here. You can't watch both live (with sound, anyway), so if you're planning on watching one after the other, or WEC tape delayed (because of the anti-social start times) then it does ruin it.

I do watch the WEC tape delays for the Asian races, and I know to avoid social media and Ten Tenths. Now I know to avoid RLM as well, which is a shame.

Of course there is a strong resistance to posting results on the MWM Collective without a very big "Spoiler" warning ... I'd tend to the theory of cock up rather than conspiracy in this case.

I’m not sure the rest of the world should not talk about something just to please someone who has chosen to wait to watch. Even if on at the same time. Others might like to here what is going on concurrently.

I tend to watch delayed too.

Maybe they shouldn't when it had only finished half a day ago - not a week ago and it is known as a race with less ideal start time for Europe. There was no need to bring up the WEC race result at all, because the series are unrelated.

What made this worse is that while Hindy's mentioning of the GTE winner may have been somewhat accidental, the other guy did it knowingly. He reminded me of those people on the web and in real life who get satisfaction from spoiling movie plots for others.

So it's not even referred to as Radio Le Mans anymore but rather 'RS1'.

And John Dagys has replaced Graham Goodwin on MWM (and immediately spread falsehoods about the new LMP regs). I think everybody can see where this is going...

No I don't know where this is going. Can you elaborate sir? What was so false about what John Dagys said by the way? I like Mr. Dagys a lot myself. I was surprised to see him on MWM I must say.

Its enough to confirm my suspicion. Graham and Marshall are completely out of the picture with Midweek Motorsport now. Replaced more or less by Shea Adam, occasional appearances by Johnny Palmer. and for now John Dagys. Lets see if that is a one-off or it comes more regular.
